Registry Fix Method
Here's how you can
get the Windows Explorer to appear in any directory you want...
instantly!
- Open up Notepad and type in the following text (as shown
in the picture below) :-
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Command]
@="Explore from here"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Command\command]
@="explorer.exe /e,/root,%1"
- Save the file with the .reg extension, instead of the
usual .txt extension. In this example, the file is
saved as Explore.reg.
- Now, double-click the saved file. Again, we are using Explore.reg
as an example.
- A pop-up message (shown below) will appear. Click on Yes
to allow the contents of the Explore.reg file to be
added to the registry.
- A confirmation pop-up screen will announce that the
information in the Explore.reg file has been
successfully entered into the registry. Just click OK
to continue.
- Now, open up Windows Explorer.
- If you right-click on any directory, you will notice a Explore
from here option.
- Clicking on that Explore from here option will
bring up a new Windows Explorer displaying the contents of
that folder.
- Here's what happened when I clicked on the Explore
from here option with the Reviews directory selected :-
- Instantly, a new Explorer window opened up with the Reviews
folder set as the root folder. From there on, I can navigate
the Reviews folder and its subfolders in this new Explorer
window although I can't go above the Reviews folder.

Notes
- This Explore from here option will only allow you to
navigate the folder you have chosen and its subdirectory.
- However, you will not be able to navigate above the
folder you have selected.
- The Explore option that's available by default when you
right-click on any directory will also allow you to open up a
new Explorer window with focus on that directory. But
navigation is not restricted to just the folder and its
subfolders. You can go above the folder you have
selected.
